Christmas Lyrics - Blues Traveler

Comes the time for Christmas 

And I really have to ask 

If this is feeling merry 

How much longer must it last 

I wish a one horse open sleigh 

Would come carry me away 

But I've been waiting here all day 

And one just hasn't come my way 

Now excuse me if I'm not being reverent 

But I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me 

Save me from my righteous doubt as I watch helpless 

And everybody sings 

If it's Hanukah or Kwanzaa 

Solstice, harvest or December twenty-fifth 

Peace on earth to everyone 

And abundance to everyone you're with 

Laha da da da da da 

Da da da da da da da da da da da 

La da da da da da da da 

Comes the time for Christmas 

And as you raise your yuletide flask 

There's like this feeling that you carry 

As if from every Christmas past 

It's as if each year it grows 

It's like you feel it in your toes 

And on and on your carol goes 

Harvesting love among your woes 

I want to buy into the benevolent 

And I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me 

Make me know what it's about 

As the longing in me makes me want to sing 

Noel or Navidad 

Season celebration or just the end of the year 

Christmas can mean anything 

And I mean to keep it's hope forever near 

Laha da da da da da 

Da da da da da da da da da da da 

La da da da da da da da da 

Laha da da da da 

As if a cold and frozen soul is warm to love 

By loves own hand 

So goes the prayer if for a day peace on earth 

And good will to man 

At twenty below the winter storm it billows 

But the fire is so warm inside 

And the children while nestled in their pillows 

Dream of St. Nicholas's ride 

And how the next day they'll get up and they will play 

In the still falling Christmas snow 

And together we'll celebrate forever 

In defiance of the winds that blow 

My God in heaven now I feel like I'm seven 

And spirit calls to me as well 

As if Christmas had made the winter warmer 

Made a paradise from what was hell 

As if a cold and frozen soul is warm to love 

By loves own hand 

So goes the prayer if for a day peace on earth 

And? good will to man 

At twenty below the winter storm it billows 

But the fire is so warm inside 

And the children while nestled in their pillows 

Dream of St. Nicholas's ride 

I wish a one horse open sleigh 

Would come carry me away 

But I've been waiting here all day 

And one just hasn't come my way 

Now excuse me if I'm not being reverent 

But I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me 

Save me from my righteous doubt as I watch helpless 

And everybody sings 

Oh Hanukah or Kwanzaa 

Solstice, harvest or December twenty-fifth 

Peace on earth to everyone 

And abundance to everyone you're with 

All hail the savior saint 

Glory to the newborn king 

Peace on Earth and mercy to man 

God and sinners reconciled 

And hark the herald angels sing 

Glory to the newborn king 

Oh, peace on earth and mercy to man 

God and sinners reconciled 

I wish a one-horse open sleigh 

Would come carry me away 

And I'll keep waiting through next May 

Until Christmas comes my way
